Between Him and Mrs. Weidler.
BsooKLYN. June 25.-There has been
considerable speculation as to the cause
which led George Weidler to murder DIR.
Edward H. Duggan, of briggs and South
Fourth streets, E. d. There was a report
to the effect that he was a relative of the
Doctor, and that animosity existed be-
tween them, but this was not so, for the
murderer was apparently stranger to his
victim. The only cause for the shooting
was insane and unfounded jealousy. DR..
Duggan was calling upon patient named
Mrs. Mckay, at SO Taylor street, and when
he came out end descended the stoop
Weidler approached him and accused him
of improper conduct with his wife. 7" Who
are you, and who is your wife," asked the
Doctor.
81 am George Weidier, of $40 Berry
street, and don't want you to come to my
house again"
$50 away from me-. the Doctor replied,
as be moved towards his carriage, anxious
to avoid any further controversy. Then
Weidler drew his pistol and discharged
three shots, killing DIR. Duggan almost II :
stantly. DR.. Duggan had no acquaintance
with Mrs Weidler. 1t seems that she was
suffering from complaint for which DR..
Hughes bad been attending ner. a Few
days ego she had another attack, and one
of her neighbors went for DR.. Hughes, and,
az he was not In, called Dr. Duggan. He
simply made one visit. Drs. Hughes and
Duggan we're not on good terms and there
fore avoided a meeting, and Duggan paid
no further attention to the case. Weld
lers jealousy was therefore without any
cause whatever.
Justice Naher to-day formally committed
Wsidler to Raymond Street Jail to await
heresult of the action of Coroner Lindsay,
who will hold the inquest next week. The
prisoner has made no explanation of the
cause Of the murder, and will not speaB
upon the subject.

Shepherd F. Knapp's shrewdness.

When Fernando Wood was mayor he
appointed him street commissioner.
have forgotten now how long he served
in that capacity, but one evening when
sharp contest was going on as to how
much money should be expended on GER
tain streets in the neighborhood of the
Bowery, he fell into the company of sew
eral sharpers in a saloon. 1t was dan
gerous locality and the men were despe-
rate characters Considerably under the
influence of liquor. two of them ap-
preached him and said: Knapp, we
want you to sign an agreement to make
the changes you were talking about the
last time we saw you 1t was said with
reckless look that did not escape
Knapp. who quickly asked; Have you
the papers here?" No, but come with
US, wen go where they are.
Knowing that they were armed and
otherwise prepared to force him to sign,
he readily followed, but once on the
street soon handed them over to the po-
lice. His quick wit and calm courage
often served him better than deadly
weapons could, indeed he never went
armed. - Washington Cor. Minneapolis

If we might judge from the Penny
Awful, and even from the Shilling
ShOcker, there is moral fatality in hair.
The dark-eyed woman with the wealth
of raven locks" is fiend of deep plots
and Vaccinations. bent upon the destruc-
ton of the heroine with the golden hair
or we believe the approved form is
now the gold head" and the violet
eyes. About one thing the world has
made up its mind, or, at least the world
of superficial observers, who have
sheep-like tendency to keep together;
and that one thing is, that a strong
minded woman in fiction ought to be a
brunette, and that a sensitive, tender,
gentle creature is to be depicted as a
blonde. This is on par with the old
melOdramas, where the heroine always
wore white, and came on the stage to
slow music. The herOines of our hearts
did not appear crossing our life's scene
to slow music-did they? Nor were they
gifted with sympathy, tenderness, and
sweetness according to the color of their
hair. The world of melOdrama and of
nine-tenths of our fiction is not the world
we live in. As matter of fact, the real
golden hair is gift as rare as the voice
Of a pTimG DONNA; and the wealth of
raven locks goes often with the sOftest
natures-thOse sensitive, and yet I'M
selfish, beings of whom we might say

Mr.. Poster Didn't Hire Out.

About a year before the death of the
noted Charley Foster, who was the high
priest of spiritualism in this country,
Mr.. Mclean, the owner of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. visited the rooms of FOs-
ter, and the following is an extract of
their dialogue:
